Functional traits of riparian trees in the lower Fitzroy River, Western Australia
Ecohydrology, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Riparian trees are critically important for maintaining the ecological function of freshwater ecosystems. Globally, anthropogenic changes to water regimes are impacting the health and distribution of riparian trees. Understanding the physiological constraints on the distribution of riparian tree species in relation to the water regime is ...

Solving Groundwater Flow Equations Using Gradually Varied Functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Finite difference method and finite element method are popular methods for solving groundwater flow equations. This paper presents a new method that uses gradually varied functions to solve such equation. In this paper, we have established a mathematical model based on gradually varied functions for groundwater data volume reconstruction.

Modeling groundwater flow on MPPs [PDF]
Proceedings of Scalable Parallel Libraries Conference, 2002 The numerical simulation of groundwater flow in three-dimensional heterogeneous porous media is examined. To enable detailed modeling of large contaminated sites, preconditioned iterative methods and massively parallel computing power are combined in a simulator called PARFLOW. After describing this portable and modular code, some numerical results are

A Needle in a Haystack: Landscape Survey and Archaeological Detection Experiments in Apalachee Bay
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a pilot landscape‐scale seismic survey undertaken in Apalachee Bay, Florida, across a submerged landscape that contains dozens of Pre‐Contact sites. In addition to the goals of improving the geophysical and remote sensing ground model for this submerged landscape, the survey also sought to undertake the first

Ecohydrology, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Rivers in arid regions often rely on flow generated from wetter regions upstream, leading to high transmission losses of downstream flows. These transmission losses support a range of ecosystems, but partitioning the volume of the transmission losses across the floodplain, riparian zone and in‐channel is difficult.

Multi-Agent System for Groundwater Depletion Using Game Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Groundwater is one of the most vital of all common pool resources throughout the world. More than half of groundwater is used to grow crops. This research models groundwater depletion patterns within a multi-agent system framework. Irrigators are modeled as agents in the multi-agent system.

Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Numerical models are essential for comprehending intricate physical phenomena in different domains. To handle their complexity, sensitivity analysis, particularly screening is crucial for identifying influential input parameters. Kernel‐based methods, such as the Hilbert‐Schmidt Independence Criterion (HSIC), are valuable for analyzing ...

Isotope characterization of shallow aquifers in the Horombe region, South of Madagascar [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 The present study deals with the problem of evaluation of the recharge mechanism and the characterization of the groundwater flow system in the basement shallow aquifer, which is one of the groundwater resource in the semi-arid South region of Madagascar.

Autogenous self‐healing of concrete: Experimental design and test methodsA review
Engineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Concrete exhibits an intrinsic ability to heal cracks, defined as “autogenous self‐healing.” However, despite code restrictions, autogenous self‐healing of concrete shows limited effectiveness in practice. This indicates the need for further research to provide engineers with reliable design rules.

Invisible Labor and the “Ghost Particle”: Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields**
Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.
